Rain!



Nothing much is new here, but I thought I'd post an update anyway. :)

We are enjoying the rain, although having a dog now makes this quite inconvenient as our backyard becomes a mud pit during rainy weather. For some reason, our lawn does not drain, and we have standing water in our grass. Everyone is sort of stir crazy, due to not being able to get outside as much, but I love the cozy feel of a dark, rainy day and a fire in the fireplace...AND a cup of coffee!

The kids are all doing pretty well with school, but Dan has hit the point in math (mid year, 4th grade) where the LONG DIVISION kicks in pretty hard. He's not a math lover to start with, so the poor kid is not happy. I remember this point with Nathan and Tim, so I keep trying to encourage him that it WILL get easier!

We have a fun weekend coming up, with a choir and Sunday School program at church tomorrow evening, and a piano recital on Saturday.

Have a great day all!

Cool picture, Jill! I know the "stir crazy" feeling... Ethan especially gets very effected by sitting in the house too long. He likes to be out and about, non-stop. I went to my Mom's today to walk on the treadmill because I needed to move my legs and can't go outside! I do love this weather though, so no complaints. :)

I totally know how Dan feels. I actually liked math a lot, but did not get it very easily. It was always a struggle for me.
